Shortly after the Leon Trotsky Archive at Harvard’s Houghton Library was opened in January 1980, Trotskyist historian Pierre Broué discovered letters between Leon Sedov and his father Trotsky that proved the existence of a bloc between Trotskyites and other opposition groups within the USSR. Sometime in the middle of 1932 Sedov informed his father as follows:

“[The bloc] is organized. In it have entered the Zinovievites, the Sten-Lominadze group and the Trotskyites (former ‘[...capitulators]’). The group of Safar. Tarkhkan has not formally entered yet – they stand on too extreme a position; they will enter in a very short time. – The declaration of Z. and K. concerning their enormous mistake in ’27 was made during negotiations with our people concerning the bloc, immediately before the exile of Z and K.” [70]

"Under the leadership of President Erdoğan, the AKP government issued emergency decrees (KHKs) one after another; leading to suspension and dismissal of tens of thousands of military and police officers, judges, prosecutors and civil servants. Almost 40,000 people, including academics and teachers were also arrested. The number of jailed journalists rose to a record high of 140. Meanwhile, 37 thousand petty criminals were released on the account that there was not enough spac...e in prisons. Whereas the government initially claimed that dismissals and arrests were carried out only against coup plotters of the Gülen movement; soon it became clear that democrats and socialists were also targeted. Through only one decree, more than 10 thousand teachers, all members of Eğitim-Sen (Education and Science Workers Union), were laid-off. A great majority of them were democrats, socialists and supporters of Kurdish national movement.

"The XXII Conference of the CIPOML gathered in Denmark, manifest its full solidarity to the growing protests of the working class and the youth of Brazil to reject to the parliamentary manoeuvre imposed by the most reactionary National Congress in the whole history of Brazil that responds to the miserable interests of the Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo and to the oligarchy of the financial capital, which powered up the impeachment with the clear objective ...of loading on the shoulder of the working classes the terrible weight of the current economic crisis that corrode the dying capitalist economic system.

"We, the All Marxist-Leninist Union, are raising funds which will be directed to our community outreach program called "Service to the People" of New Brunswick.
All donations will go to purchasing food, clothing, shoes, and hygeine supplies for homeless and poor working people of New Brunswick. Our group of students and youth usually goes out to the train station, where most people gather in anticipation of cold weather, every Sunday and at least one more day a week. Since w...e donated all our unneeded clothing and shoes already, we are trying to raise funds for contunuing our program.
According to homeless people that we have talked to, they are in desperate need of blankets, gloves, and socks. Since all public space buildings in New Brunswick are closed by 11 pm, people have no other choice but to sleep on the street and river banks in the middle of the winter.
We will provide receipts for purchasing food, blankets, gloves, clothing, hygiene supplies, and anything that we purchase for the donated money. If you would like your money to be used for purchasing a specific good, please message us!

Those who took the possibility of a Trump presidency lightly now have blood on their hands.

The "anti-imperialists" who supported Trump have shown their true nature.

The ones who balked at the idea that Trump represented fascistic tendencies within the ruling class will soon be shown the cold reality.

On the 99th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution, let's look at what V.I. Lenin had to say about it on the fourth.

"We solved the problems of the bourgeois-democratic revolution in passing, as a “by-product” of our main and genuinely proletarian -revolutionary, socialist activities. We have always said that reforms are a by-product of the revolutionary class struggle. We said — and proved it by deeds — that bourgeois-democratic reforms are a by-product of the... proletarian, i.e., of the socialist revolution. Incidentally, the Kautskys, Hilferdings, Martovs, Chernovs, Hillquits, Longuets, MacDonalds, Turatis and other heroes of “Two and-a-Half” Marxism were incapable of understanding this relation between the bourgeois-democratic and the proletarian-socialist revolutions. The first develops into the second. The second, in passing, solves the problems of the first. The second consolidates the work of the first. Struggle, and struggle alone, decides how far the second succeeds in outgrowing the first.
